[The hug is a little bit of a surprise, but not an unwelcome one. She leans into it, pulling him close and holding him tight. Her eyes close, and she revels in the affection offered not only by the boy but by Pikachu. She nuzzles her cheek against the little creature, sharing a small bit of electricity with him like when they'd first met.]

I won't, Red. I'll fight until I can make it back here. I'll lay waste to the enemy, and return as quickly as I am able.

[She breaks the hug slowly, taking a step back and reclaiming her bow. It's time to go, it seems.]

I promise you that. I'll come back as soon as I can. Don't worry too much. I've got Vegeta with me, and Beardy. This will all be over soon.
